Nonsurgical Periodontal Therapy for Diabetes Patients with Periodontal Disease.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and periodontitis are chronic conditions with a well-established bidirectional relationship. This interaction not only worsens periodontitis severity but also complicates glycemic control. We aimed to determine whether nonsurgical periodontal treatment reduces glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels at 3 and 6 months in type II diabetic patients with periodontal disease. Material and Methods: In this sequential case-control study conducted at the University Dental Clinic in Murcia, Spain, we enrolled thirty diabetic patients. Participants were allocated to either a test group (receiving comprehensive periodontal treatment with scaling and root planing) or a control group (receiving supragingival plaque removal only). Both groups received oral hygiene instructions. We evaluated periodontal parameters (HI, GBI, PPD, CAL) and HbA1c levels at baseline, 3, and 6 months, analyzing data with repeated-measures ANOVA and Bonferroni correction. Results: The periodontal treatment group demonstrated statistically significant reductions in HbA1c levels at both 3 and 6 months post-treatment (p < 0.05). In contrast, we observed no significant changes in the control group. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that periodontal disease associates with elevated HbA1c levels in diabetic patients. Nonsurgical periodontal treatment significantly reduces both periodontal inflammation and HbA1c levels at 3 and 6 months, supporting its integration into comprehensive diabetes management.
